Carney applies for increase in debris storage at Raynham Park

Christopher Carney is paid up with the state’s Department of Environmental Protection, after he was fined $3,300 for nearly doubling the amount of material he was permitted to keep on site of his recycling business.

Christopher Carney is paid up with the state after he was fined $3,300 for nearly doubling the material he was permitted to keep at his construction debris recycling business on the Raynham Park property.

Carney, who denies he was ever over his limit, said Wednesday he has since applied to the Department of Environmental Protection for a permit modification to allow him to keep more material on the site.

“The paperwork is in, I’m just waiting for (the DEP),” Carney said.

Carney’s asphalt, brick and concrete crushing business at 1958 Broadway operates on the same grounds where his father, George Carney, wants to put a slot parlor, for which he and his Pennsylvania-based financial partner plunked down a non-refundable $400,000 application fee on Tuesday.

If the state grants the license, it’s possible the processing company, C. Carney Environmental, will move. Chris Carney said he has looked into sites in Brockton and West Bridgewater as possible relocation sites.

If the DEP does not approve a modification, Carney has 180 days from when the consent order was issued, or until about mid-May, to rid his property of the excess material. He has already started selling some of it piecemeal, Carney said.

The DEP could not confirm Wednesday if any material had been removed from the site.
